I tried downloading a fresh install file and I still have the same problem, so I've filed a support request.

Topaz says, "Using GPU mode is now 5x faster! With some optimizations to the GPU processing in A.I. Gigapixel, we've improved the speed of processing by around 5x on full-size images (it scales based on the size of your image, so a small image might be 3x) with the same 1-2 million calculations per pixel and the same amazing results."

And I don't really know how to do this with least loss.
The viewer's display medium could be almost anything and their display program ditto.
FB does compression itself while some forums set a file size limit.
The PP program I'm using is DXO Photolab and there's a bunch of choices -
Pixel number
DPI
Quality percentage
Viewer display type - standard or hi def

Anyone any views on whether it's 'better' than LR and by that I mean are the images produced significantly better in quality?

Yes, I know I can download a trial but was just wondering what the community thought first.

The interface is:
1. in LR click on File -> Plug-in Extras -> Transfer to Dx0 Photolab and the NEF is passed to Dx0.
2. in Dx0 select Noise Reduction then click on Prime then click on Export to Lightroom, Dx0 passes a TIFF back to LR. I turn everything else off in Dx0 (for now anyway)
3. LR will open just the passed TIFF

Here are 2 comparisons where I clearly like DX0 better. I think for $99 I'll buy it and use it for high ISO stuff (like these). So far I've only played with D4 images between 2 and 4 k ISO.
